Hey are you around? What's new?

Hey how are you doing?? Still around?

Did you do it ?? How are you?

Well it's been some time since I have been online.... How are you doing? did you get the band yet? fill me in...no pun intended

Was filled to 7 cc's really feel restriction now my portions are sooo much smaller. finally the scale started moving down again!!! Yeah me!!! Lost 84 lbs since August!!

Hey, sounds like fun in Las Vegas, i keep telling my hubby I want to go. The holidays were kinda hard for me I did have a few cookies and eat too much and got sick for the first time. I through up and spit mucus (I know gross!!!!!!!) out for a while but once i through up I felt better. just remember to eat slow and watch how much. But so far I am good I had a fill 2 wks before xmas and am due to go back on the 20th. I went shopping and bought a bunch of new clothes size 18-20 I was SOOOOOO excited about that and hopefully I will get down to an 9-10 or so. I have been lazy and not exersizing and am sure I will catch crap for that when I go back to my doc, but I can't wait till the summer time so I can be outside and exersize. So keep me in touch and have a great trip.

Happy New Year!!

Andrea

Hi Ro: Whats been going on??? It's been kinda quiet on the talk site lately so just shoot me a message and let me know how you are doing. I am 60 down so far and am filled at 5cc's It feels great. Andrea

Hi Kim:

Haven't heard from you and thought I would reach out and see how you are doing? Give me an update. I am still doing well lost about 60 now and hope to get through the holidays successfully. Hope to hear from you soon. Andrea

Hi Michaele:

Did anyone get back to you about meeting up? And also, how is your house, you said you had a fire?

I would be able to meet during the week but not Tuesdays, Sat and Sun. will be hard but I will try to fit it in. Xmas parties galore this year, funny we didn't have many to go to inthe last 20 years we were married now we have too many to get to. Anyway the 10th, 17th, 20th and 26th is not good. If we can't get together before then maybe in January? Let me know OK. Take Care, Andrea

I saw that today is your surgery date. I pray that you come through with flying colors and have a speedy recovery. Just listen to your docs, get up and walk around, use that breathing tube thingy, and drink very very very slowly. You will be just fine. If you have any questions just message me. All the best and I will be thinking of you.

Hi there, Yes I am following everything my nutritionist and surgeon tells me. I was excersing everyday, but I have slowed to 3-4 times per week at the gym and wlaking with the hubby. I eat mostly proteins and take my vitamins daily. I feel great and hope to continue on the downslope. Keep in touch OK. Andrea

Hey Kim,

I had the lapband on August 28 in University of Penn with Dr. Matthew Kirkland I have lost 50 so far and hope to reach my goal of 170 total loss. I feel great and have had no adverse affects. I go next month for a fill right before xmas. We have support meetings once a month so I go there. I have a friend that is at the New Beginnings Program. She is doing well too. Keep in touch, OK.

Andrea

I just saw your album and you look great!!! I was banded in August and my friend was thinking about it but her doc said she was too heavy for the band. Do you mind letting me know what your starting weight was. If too personal I totally understand. But I wanted to get my friend to see another doc and get a 2nd opinion for the band. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!!! Angcal26

Hello: I have a questions for you, what antidepressants were you taking and do you take them now after surgery, and how do you feel if you do, or dont???? Thank you, Andrea

Keep driking it is important I found out that is why I was flushing. anyway I have no pain by my port but have heard other people sying that. you should be getting past those feeligns in about a week, but if they persist call your doctor to get a better feeling on it Ok, Take care and I will talk to you soon,
